Summer 2017 Comparisons - Orly Under the Stars (Coastal Crush)

From left to right: Frostbite (Ski, Holiday 2007), Bell Bottom Blues (Leggy Legend, Autumn 2015), Aruba Blue (?), Miss Piggy’s Big Number (Muppets Most Wanted, Spring 2014), Under the Stars, Sanaa (Sapphire for September, September 2015), Juniper (Luminous Lights, Holiday 2016), Estelle (Flair, Autumn 2015), Eunice (Into the Sea, July 2016), Little Drummer Boy (Tis the Season to be Naughty and Nice, Holiday 2010), Light My Sapphire (Night Brights, Summer 2007)

Frostbite is too light and cobalt, Bell Bottom Blues is too teal, and Little Drummer Boy are too dark, but everything else is at least kinda close, but except for Sanaa, they all lack the little bit of pink shimmer in Under the Stars. Aruba Blue is similar from a distance, but the formula is thinner and it has no pink in it. Miss Piggy is also lighter and it’s more purple than it is pink in its shimmer. Juniper, Estelle, and Eunice are more true blues like Aruba Blue. Sanaa is the only other blue I have with pink shimmer in it but it’s too light to be a dupe. I think if you mixed Eunice and Sanaa you’d have something like Under the Stars.

Summer 2017 Comparisons - Orly Sea You Soon (Coastal Crush)

Now, I don’t have Orly Skinny Dip, but I think they’re pretty close. I want to say Skinny Dip is a neon and Sea You Soon isn’t, and Sea You Soon’s shimmer is more apparent.

Also, I accidentally grabbed Essie Melody Maker instead of Essie Viva Antigua, but Viva Antigua, like Melody Maker, is so vastly different than Sea You Soon I didn’t bother to take new photos.

From left to right: Melody Maker (Neons, Summer 2015), Rebel (Awaken, Spring 2014), What I Like About Blue (Lite Brites, Summer 2016), Sea You Soon, Teal the Cows Come Home (Brighter By the Dozen, Summer 2006), Tallulah (Ooh-La-La, Summer 2009), Emily (Topaz for December, December 2015), Do You Sea What I Sea? (Fiji, Spring 2017), Royal Navy (In the Navy, Summer 2010). Swatch Stick: Orly Cliffhanger (Epix)

I thought you guys would like to see Royal Navy, but they’re obviously different. It is kind of the lighter version of the same idea, though, and I think they’d be a cute combo. Do You Sea and Emily are also way darker. Rebel’s shimmer is way different and it’s super light. Tallulah and Teal the Cows are darker and What I Like About Blue is lighter, but they’re all closer. I have nothing exactly like Sea You Soon, but we’ll just have to wait and see once I compare it to I Truly Azure You!

Summer 2017 Comparisons - Orly No Regrets (Coastal Crush)

Stay tuned for a more in-depth comparison for She’s a Mane-iac!

From left to right: Put the Top Down (Pacific Coast Highway, Summer 2016), Bite Me (Lite Brites, Summer 2016), Pool Party (Poolside, Summer 2010), Hot Shot (High Voltage, Summer 2008), Off the Wall (Off the Wall, Summer 2016), No Regrets, Window Shopping (Melrose, Spring 2016), She’s a Mane-iac (My Little Pony, Summer 2017), Rose Among Thorns (Ink, Summer 2008), Under the Boardwalk (Summer Neons, Summer 2012), Risky Behavior (Adrenaline Rush, Summer 2015)

Everything in this lot is really pretty similar, but the closest things to No Regrets Off the Wall. You might not need the both of them. No Regrets is probably the least red toned of these pink neons.

Summer 2017 Comparisons - Orly For the First Time (Coastal Crush)

From left to right: Scenic Route (Pacific Coast Highway (PCH), Summer 2016), For the First Time, Audrina (Gossip, Summer 2008), Flora (Vivid, April 2014), Violet-Vibes (Electric Nights, Summer 2015)

Everything here is a lot less pink than For the First Time. Violet-Vibes, Flora, and Audrina are a lot darker, although Audrina is fairly close, just not that neon. Scenic Route is the closest, but it’s lighter and less fuchsia.

Summer 2017 Comparisons - Orly Surfer Dude (Coastal Crush)

From left to right: Alexandria (Sun Crush, May 2017), Pool Party (Poolside, Summer 2010), Ablaze (Baked, Summer 2014), Life’s a Beach (Pacific Coast Highway, Summer 2016), Surfer Dude, Red-y to Rave (Electric Nights, Summer 2015), Hot Shot (High Voltage, Summer 2008), Fireball (Adrenaline Rush, Summer 2015), Cherry On Top (Kandee Johnson Vintage Matte, Spring 2017)

Alexandria and Cherry on Top are really mattes, not neons. Pool Party, Hot Shot, and Fireball are a lot more cool toned and redder. Ablaze and Life’s a Beach are more orange toned, but particularly Life’s a Beach is pretty close. Red-y to Rave and Surfer Dude are incredibly close, Red-y to Rave being a lot less saturated though. I think if you mixed Life’s a Beach and Red-y to Rave you’d get Surfer Dude!
